Peace Frog Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I still don't understand how he gets this certified as a class--a lot of his claims relate to him and him only and have nothing to do what I'm guessing is his claim that the NFL (or at least its HC hiring process) is systematically racist. The Ross allegations have nothing to do with anyone but him--and have nothing to do with racism. Just muddies his claim. The Giant non-interview and the and Bronocos interview--him. The Bellichik texts, him. If he's claiming systematic racism in the NFL hiring process, he's sure thrown a lot of crap at the wall that do not support his claim. And given his texts to the Saints and Texans PRIOR to filing the lawsuit that he was doing so smacks to me of someone trying to use the leverage of a bombshell lawsuit to get himself another HC gig.

Someone mentioned black men account for 6% of the population, so 2 black coaches in the NFL mirrors society and would be acceptable. I was pointing out that black men account for 6% when you include women and children in the figure. Remove women and children from the total and tell me what the % of black men is and you’d find 2 black coaches in the NFL is not close to proportionate Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Maybe this could make it easier to understand: imagine the NHL had 31 black head coaches. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snell41 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Yes because him and his “shady legal team” will just lay out the case and all the evidence they have right now on national tv. Lmfaooooo Relax, I’m on your side of this. I don’t think Flores is wrong with what he feels. I believe him entirely. There are tons of legal teams that take cases for public exposure applying their own agendas whether there’s truly a case or not. There’s a lot of money in settlements. I just take issue with Flores sitting and saying how he FEELS followed by two white lawyers blanketly stating as fact that Flores didn’t get consideration for the job because he’s black. His statements alone are not going to hold water, they’re counting on other coaches putting themselves on the line and joining his cause to make a case of strength in numbers.

I think minority ownership would be a good step but these teams don't come up for sale very often. If Peyton Manning and his billionaire friends want to buy the Broncos, does the NFL say no, gotta sell to a minority owned group? If Tom Brady and his billionaire friends want to buy the next team up for sale, does the NFL say no, gotta sell to a minority owned group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app You're intentionally using the country's percentage of black men in the United States to deflect from the fact that group of players in the NFL isn't just 6% black. You know this. The majority of players in the NFL are black. A large majority. Good enough to make the NFL and play but not lead? Why aren't black players who play and understand the game not fit enough to lead? Why do white people take up most leadership positions in a sport made up of mostly black players? Make me understand.

Someone else (someone else means NOT ME!!!) said that black men account for 6% of the US population, therefore the NFL need only 2 black coaches to be aligned. I pointed out that they account for 6% of the ENTIRE population including women and children. Take women and children out of the numbers and you’d find black men account for far more than 6% and therefore 2 is a ridiculously low and unacceptable number.

The argument would be that African Americans are disproportionally represented as players because of innate athletic ability less common in other races. This innate ability doesn't exist within coaching ranks so it reverts to the mean. Of course, this does not explain why it's overwhelmingly white in the HC ranks which is the underlying issue.

I had bad diverticulitis. Had a 11" sigmoid resection at the age of 42. No problem ever since (22 years) and no restrictions on diet. The problem was that the surgery was done laparoscopically, and I had a post-op infection at the point of removal that they had to open and clean when I got a bad fever before discharge. Left me with a very tough 3-4 weeks of wound dressing and recovery. Still, having the surgery changed my life for the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
